Amazon's humanoid warehouse robots will eventually cost only $3 per hour to operate. That won't calm workers' fears of being replaced. - Digit is a humanoid bipedal robot from Agility Robotics. (www.businessinsider.com)

It bugged me the Raffi was depicted living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere in Picard, like she had been impoverished by getting kicked out of Starfleet. That's not how shit is supposed to work in that world.

Postscarcity would mean that everyone could live in fancy vineyard if they wanted, and Picard just happens to have one with a history.

Exhibit 97 for why Picard was a terrible show that never should have been made.

So, TBH I don't get the hate. There's goofy bits in every series. I enjoyed it overall.

There was way too much hand waving in Picard for me, and not nearly enough substance.
